- 4 ears shucked corn

Notes
- Get your grill pan nice and hot before adding the corn. This helps you get those great grill marks and a good sear.
- Don’t skimp on the chili powder, salt, and sugar. Make sure you coat the corn evenly for the best flavor.
- Turn the corn regularly to make sure it cooks evenly and gets a nice, even char.
- If you’re cooking a lot of corn, make sure you don’t overcrowd the pan. Give each piece enough space to cook evenly.
- The corn is done when it’s tender and has a nice char. You can test it by poking a kernel with a fork to make sure it’s cooked through.
